This was my first experience with Stevia. I was an avid Sweet & Low user, but wanted to go a bit more natural, so I ordered the Now Foods Stevia Extract non-bitter packets. I'm very pleased, and there's definitely no bitter aftertaste.

Admittedly this is my first time using brown rice protein, so all I can compare it to is the soy protein I usually use, but I was pretty turned off by the texture- I guess grainy is the best way to describe it (it was pretty noticeable when blended in a smoothie... I'll certainly finish the bottle, and you can't beat the nutrition, but I probably won't use brown rice protein again.
